The La-Z-Boy Design Dash winner is...

ME!

Whoohoo! The cat is out of the bag! I've been dying to tell you all the news since I found out, but I had to keep quiet. :)

I have to thank you all from the bottom of my heard for voting for me. I am truly, truly humbled and honored. All of the rooms were beautiful and I really didn't think I had a chance of winning -- I didn't even have in mind when I did this event. I loved my room though. I mean, LOVED. I would take every bit of it and plop it all in my house.

I have to tell you I'm so excited to win but what makes me even happier is that the room I started with was so simple. I mentioned before that I was a little concerned when we walked up to my space because it was by far the most "plain" -- but now that's what I'm most thrilled about. Yes, I had endless La-Z-Boy items at my disposal, but this transformation shows that with a few key pieces you can create a really beautiful, comfortable room:

You don't need amazing architecture or soaring ceilings to make a beautiful space.

I've said it before but this one the coolest events I've done in either one of my careers -- blogging and my professional career before that. Could be the coolest. ;) They treated us like gold and it really did put me out of my comfort zone and made me challenge myself.

I'm not sure who the lucky winner of the $15K in furniture is just yet but when I find out I'll be sure to share!

I tear up when I talk about my readers -- I'm so thankful for you all and your support over the years. I'm honored you come back to read every week and love the relationships I have created with so many of you.

If you missed my post about the whole Design Dash experience (I only had one hour to run around and find everything I wanted in the room -- without knowing what it looked like!) you can read this post.

Hi Sarah,When I read that you were part of the challenge I checked your competition thoroughly. :-) I liked that everything was classic with yours, that anyone could put their own spin on the room. While I really liked the other rooms they all had hints of their specific style. I can see my touches and quirks in your room. I had planned navy furniture in 2002 but ended up with aubergine. Am getting the Aberdeen sofa and looking at blue fabrics . Go La-Z-Boy!So Congratulations Sarah. Looking at your room again has given me all kinds of possibilities.

I have followed your blog for a long time, but never commented. I voted for you, not just because I love your blog, but because I truly loved your room the best! It was the one I could see myself living in. Congratulations on your well-deserved win! I for one am not at all surprised :-)
